Analysis of When i became Holmes.



When i became Sherlock Holmes.

When I was young,
I was fascinated
by the stories of Sherlock Holmes.

I read out no.of stories.
Even I dropped school,
only to read Homes.

Sometimes I forgot to take dinner
or struggled with my brother
to read those books.

I started to pretend
myself Holmes.
I found most of
the people suspicious.

But the end was tragic.
Oneday I was threatened
by a stranger
who was really vicious.
